The presence of progesterone receptors in cancerous tissue improves the diagnosis of the disease, as there is an inverse relationship between the concentration of progesterone receptor material and the frequency of the metastasis [48]. Patients with oestrogen and progesterone receptors have about 75-80% chance of responding to hormonal therapy [49]. 

Compounds 34 and 35 were among the first-known steroid complexes of " Tc and Re (Scheme 2.6) [166,167]. These chelates, the classic forms of " Tc radiopharmaceuticals, possess good affinity for the progesterone receptor, better than progesterone itself. A biodistribution test showed that these two compounds become concentrated in the uterus as target organ, with uterus/ muscle and uterus/blood uptake ratios in the order of 3-4, 6h after injection of the product into yoimg female rats.
